SPEGIFIGATION'fQrming part of Letters Patent No. 734,436, dated July 21, 1903.

Application filed February 17, 1903. Serial No. 143,822. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, JAMES E. Soorr, a citizen of the United States,'and a resident of Louisville,in the county of J efterson and State of Kentucky, have made a certain new and useful Invention in Window-Sashes; and I declare the following to be a, full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art. to which it appertains to makeand use the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary side View of the invention as applied. Fig. 2 is a similar view from the front. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is a similar view of a modified form of the invention apart from the window-casing. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective View of the same.

This invention relates to window-sashes;

and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts,as hereinafter set forth. The object of the invention is to provide a sash-slide for car and other windows designed for the prevention of the ingress of air and made to secure these objects through the elastic play of a slide device between the sash and sash-groove.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter a designates the window-frame; b, the sashgroove in the window-frame, made sufficiently wide to accommodate the ofise't springflanges c. r

d is a spring-metal slide-strip having channel form toreceive the edge of the sash and having its lateral expanded or offset portions or side walls reversely bentor curved to provide the cylindrical ofisets or shoulders c and extending therefrom obliquely, but having a substantially parallel relation thereto, the flanges c, there being a lateral interval 9 between each side of the channel portion and the flange. The flanges extend beyond the base of the channel portion, thereby provid- .set flange, the two parts when applied to a sash having the channel form, as when made in one piece. 7

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. In an antirattling and dust-excluding device for window-sashes,a metallic strip having the sash-receiving channel,the side walls of said channel having reverse spring extensions including an interval and having a curved connection between each of the same and each side wall, substantially as specified.

2. In an antirattling and dust-excluding device for window-sashes,a metallic strip having the sash-receiving channel and the offset flanges reversely curved and extended beyond the base of said channel, substantially as specified.

3. A metallic strip of channel form, having reversed ofl'set flanges connected to the channel-piece by cylindrical bends, substantially the side walls of the frame-groove, substan tially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
